A great many of his publications have been reissued in this series. In the 1890s, the Irish scholar Sir John Pentland Mahaffy (1839–1919) took the lead on the considerable task of cataloguing, transcribing and commenting on the Greek papyri found by Petrie in mummy cartonnage on recent digs in Egypt. This three-volume collection is the result of his labours. The texts, comprising private correspondence, legal records, petitions and many other types of document, reveal a great deal about life in Egypt in the third century BCE. Volume 1, first published in 1891, contains thirty autotype reproductions of key examples, as well as a detailed introduction on palaeography and the circumstances surrounding the discovery of some of the papyri.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAdditions and corrections\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Plates 1-30\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Egyptian archaeology \/ Egyptology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Egyptian archaeology \/ Egyptology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Egyptian%20archaeology%20\/%20Egyptology%20%5BHDDG%5D%22\"\u003eHDDG\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266159333656,"sku":"9781108067997","price":28.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108067997i_9eb8e599-3bec-465b-b70c-bdc24524c576.jpg?v=1696748704","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-flinders-petrie-papyri-with-transcriptions-commentaries-and-index-paperback-9781108067997","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
